A boozed-up thug who threatened police in the street has been ordered to pay £235 in fines and costs.

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on November 13 how Gary Parsons, 47, of Leabrooks Road, at Somercotes, Alfreton, called police after he had an argument with his partner and threatened to fight with police.

Courts.

Prosecuting solicitor Becky Allsop said: “Police received a 999 call from Parsons about 8.30pm after he had an argument with his partner and he said if they attended they would have a handful.”

Mrs Allsop added that Parsons stated that he had been to prison and did not care about the police and would “knock officers out” and fight and that he had mental health issues.

Parsons confronted police in the street when they arrived, according to Mrs Allsop, and he said: “You here for me? Then come on.”

Mrs Allsop said that Parsons also warned police he is a professional kick-boxer and he continued to make threats and was taken to the ground and arrested.
